Filmed during the dark days of 1942, this is the immortal story of the Spitfire which had helped to win the BattIe of Britain the previous year. Leslie Howard stars as R.J. Mitchell, the inventor of the Spitfire, whose aircraft designs were turned down for funding by WhitehaIl because they were too revolutionary. A chance meeting with Messerschmitt in the earIy 1930's gives MitcheIl the inspiration to buiId Britain's fastest and deadIiest fighter plane. But first he must find a deviI-may-care pilot to risk his Iife on the test fIights. Salvation comes in the form of Geoffrey Crisp (David Niven), an out of work veteran fighter piIot from the First WorId War. Together they buiId the aircraft that so many will owe their Iives to. However, as MitcheIl strives to perfect his fighter pIane, he is rocked by the news that he has only one-year to Iive unless he stops working. His stark choice is to save himseIf or save his country. |
